1 Timothy 5:3-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ ¶ Honour widows that are widows indeed.

⁴ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let those learn first to govern their house in piety and to recompense their parents, for this is honest and pleasing before God.

⁵ Now she that is a widow indeed and desolate, trusts in God, and is diligent in supplications and prayers night and day,

⁶ but she that lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

⁷ Therefore command these things, that they may be blameless.

⁸ But if any provide not for his own and specially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
